Navigating the World with a Gender-Fabulous Child

Posts tagged ‘transnation’

I know that Jenner spoke about helping the LGBTQ community during the interview last night. I am so glad Jenner did! the interview was done so amazingly well and my heart bursts with joy for Jenner and every other Trans* woma, man and child who will benefit from how eloquent and genuine Jenner was.
I knew that with Diane Sawyer being a part of this, it would be done with the utmost class and dignity. However, she exceeded my expectations. I don’t think she really should have asked Jenner about the SRS, BUT I also think that I need to keep in mind that not everyone knows what is appropriate or inappropriate.
I think that an important thing for the trans* and cis community to take away from this is that Jenner struggled for DECADES and even thought about suicide … Jenner didn’t go through with it though. Couldn’t go through with it.
I implore those in the trans* community to follow Jenner ‘ s lead and live to see another day.
I implore those in the cis community to have an epiphany … BRUCE JENNER, famous, an Olympic hero … almost committed suicide bc this was so tough, imagine how this process is for those who do not have fans. “We are going to change the world”- Bruce Jenner
